The Lightner Method™ is rooted in new paradigms for human:
  • Well-being
  • Architecture (Structure)
  • Function (Coordination of action-movement)
  • Adaptation (Learning)
The more accurate your perspective the more access you'll have to clarity, ease, freedom and empowerment.

The core of the work is to support you to experience the mechanics and miracle of your own being so you can harness that information to live how and do what you want with less obstacles and roadblocks. This is the foundation for living a thriving life.
The Lightner Method™ is a pedagogy for the 21st century.
      It is an approach to:
  • Ease common chronic physical pain such as knee pain, back pain, shoulder pain.
  • Shift frustration, anxiety or worry to clarity and calm.
  • Transform effort, strain in moving to light, lively mobility.
  •  Experiencing your current capabilities rather than always try to improve/change.
  • Align your teaching strategies with the way the human system works.
  • Empower yourself and your students.
